On April 3, President Andrzej Duda will go to Italy, where, among other things, he will pay tribute to the tomb of John Paul II, which will be a symbolic respect for this character – said the head of the President’s Office of International Policy Marcin Przydacz on Thursday in the first program of the Polish radio.
When asked whether President Andrzej Duda will participate in the march in defense of John Paul II on April 2, Przydacz replied that “the president has many plans, including in connection with the figure of the Polish pope.”
On April 3, the President will go to Italy, to Rome, where the first part of this visit will of course be a visit to the Basilica of St. Peter on the tomb of John Paul II and it will be such a symbolic respect for this character
– he said.
The head of BPM added that the president will recall John Paul II in the near future. He noted that Andrzej Duda expressed his attitude towards the Polish pope immediately after the attacks on him began in the Polish media. He recalled that it was by depicting iconography with the figure of John Paul II on the facade of the Presidential Palace, which “was and should be interpreted as a way of defending John Paul II”.
March 9 The Sejm passed a resolution on defending the good name of St. John Paul II, in which he “strongly condemns the shameful campaign of the media, based largely on the materials of the communist apparatus of violence, whose purpose is to destroy the Grand Pope – St. John Paul II is the greatest Pole in history.
The resolution was adopted after the report “Franciszkańska 3”, broadcast on TVN 24, on what the Metropolitan of Kraków, Cardinal Karol Wojtyła knew about cases of pedophilia among priests (1964-1978). It describes the cases of three priests: Bolesław Saduś, Eugeniusz Surgent and Józef Loranc, and the response of the then Metropolitan of Kraków to them. The report contained statements by the Dutch journalist Ekke Overbeek, the author of the book “Maxima Culpa. What the Church Is Hiding About John Paul II.
